CROATIA
Couples Trip
September 11-16, 2023
THE PEARL OF THE ADRIATIC SEA
The southern city of Dubrovnik in Croatia is the most visited city in the country, and with good reason. As one of the last remaining walled towns in the world, a walk through town is a walk through time and along with the views and weather, Dubrovnik is truly an amazing travel destination.A city of red-tiled rooftops, pine- and cypress-shaded hills, and sparkling turquoise waters, the Old Town of Dubrovnik stuns with both its architecture and scenery. Its surrounding stone walls, built between the 11th and 13th centuries to protect the city from war and epidemics, stretch for a full 1.3 miles, comprising an immense system of forts, bastions, and walkways that offer breathtaking views.

PACKING LIST
Croatia has had one of the hottest summers on record which will make for a nice and warm September. Temperatures could be as high as 80 degrees. We recommend packing light and airy pieces that can be layered in the evening. We will be sightseeing during the day so bring comfortable shoes and clothing you feel comfortable walking and riding in. On our day at sea, please bring or wear your swimsuit with a cover up or dry clothing. For women we recommend maxi/summer dresses, lightweight pants or shorts, tank tops and short-sleeved shirts. We do not recommend stiletto high heels as we will be walking through the Old Towne for most of our dinners. Sandals or a block heel would be better. For men we recommend dress shirts, polos, light weight t shirts and pants as well as shorts. Dinner dress code will be business casual and our Farewell Dinner will be an opportunity to dress up if you are looking for one!
Please remember to pack your passport and any medications you require. Please bring a Type C or Type F plug adapter for your electronics. If you get car sick please bring something with you for the day we drive through the country side (as a precaution). As always, with the flight connections we have, we recommend packing a carry on with enough items to get you through the first few days if luggage is lost along the way.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik
Overlooking the intoxicatingly blue Adriatic and the UNESCO-protected Old City of Dubrovnik, the Excelsior’s situ is unbeatable. For the full sensory experience, take a stroll along the stone jetty, where blooming jacaranda trees lend an almost honeyed haze to the air and the sound of the waves fills your ears, before making your way through the winding streets to the ancient city’s heroic gates.
